...maybe but if it is true, what happens to people gone mad, or senile, or...? and not only those — our souls change, even a little, when we grow up, when we grow old, etc. so if our souls are eternal, do we keep our souls the way they were when we died? that would be bad for the senile! :/ or do they keep changing after our death? (maybe that would be ok... spiritual things transforming like material things... after some time it would be like a brand new soul, who had forgotten all that happened long ago and had nothing to do with what it was long ago) or do we have a "hard" part of our spirits, that would remain constant, and a "malleable" part that would be influenced by our environment and our bodies (and may disappear after death?) maybe if souls are eternal, i'd prefer the second solution... i don't want to be immortal anyway, i think that would be horrible — but if i'd forget about it, well, that fear would be forgotten too and it would be ok maybe... that, or dying souls, would be ok i think. what do you think? |

(if things like souls do exist after death... that's not sure at all, and can be considered as a pretentious and whimsical thought) |

It's impossible to talk about souls without an agreed definition for out purposes 1)The animating and vital principle in humans, credited with the faculties of thought, action, and emotion and often conceived as an immaterial entity. 2)The spiritual nature of humans, regarded as immortal, separable from the body at death, and susceptible to happiness or misery in a future state. It seems to be a wrong concept... or at least it kinda contradicts evolutionary thinking and reason bodies/life even exist. There's no location in the body of a biological soul, the brain is the best candidate according to those definitions of soul. |

My theory on the subject is this. The human being does have a soul, an unwavering beam of light as Kurt Vonnegut puts it. It is the essence of who we are as individuals. The brain is a computer with an operating system, and our soul is the user. Over time the system becomes unstable, or we become senile. This has nothing to do with our Soul becomming senile, just that our soul is having a hard time getting the computer to respond correctly. Everything is easy to understand it when you use computers as an anology. |

People do not have souls. It is a stupid idea designed to make people feel like their lives are worthwhile and that they are going to live on once their bodys have stopped working. Your brain works by having electrical impulces travel around circuits. When the electricity stops or the circuit is damaged you die and can no longer think. You do not float off to another place/body/dimention. That is it, you just stop being. Prove me wrong. |

Yeah well, prove yourself right. I could just as easily say that is simply the computer shutting down, and the user does float off... the thing is it doesn't matter really. It's all just theory so... whatever. |

well things like becoming senile are illnesses that effect our body .. perhaps souls are just an accumulation of our life and when the body dies the soul lives on |
